929 Evo - 2010 NASA MW TTA Champion!

2010 Overview:
15 NASA TT events. Competed in 3 different regions in 3 different classes.

* 11 wins in 3 different classes
* 4 track records
* 1 Regional Championship --> Midwest TTA

Dating back to 2009:

Last 23 NASA events - 19 wins; 7 track records


17 Days on track this year. A total of 60 on the car. Stock motor, cams, turbo, bottom-end, trans...

Also was invited to participate in the GRM Ultimate Track Car Challenge. Altogether is was a 2300 mile solo trek to VIR and back that claimed my 2004 Nissan Titan along the way! For all my trouble I got a spot in the Nov/2010 issue of GrassRoots Motorsports (below). I also took 2/7 on Sat & Sun with NASA Mid-Atlantic and had a ball learning the high-speed VIR!

2011...
Planning is well underway. Focus looks to be building the car for NASA Nationals which move back to Mid-Ohio. No plans to cage it and race it w2w as of yet. Planning all new suspension, pull a little more weight out of the car and redistribute ballast as needed. Planning to figure out why I've been down on power all year as well. Planning to annihilate every track record I can!

Background on the car
Car was purchased new in Spring of 2006. It's been AMS Tuned since before it's first lap on track. I've ran a few different configs as it started as a pure street car then moved into a double-duty DD/HPDE car, then to a weekend warrior. Now it's basically track-only and gets escorted to events on a trailer!

Maybe I'll race it too - maybe I'll see ya?

Yeah, I can't wait. I know I've got to have a boost leak or a bad BOV or something. So once I diagnose that, get a retune and then all new suspension... I'll be happy I think!

Oh, and finish cleaning up all the gas that leaked out into my car in transit to my last event. Phew...

Balrok Nov 5, 2010 01:28 PM

Ya you jinx'ed me on that one. Dad brought the car up to my new place saturday and my full Molecule wash bottle dumped on the floor, which then ran into every nook and cranny. It's not gas, and it smells nice...but like a concentrated smell and everything's all sticky now :lol: Same on the boost issue, running e85 it likes 28ish lbs and that oem can only do 25 max if that so i'm in the market for one too.

InitialE Nov 6, 2010 01:42 PM

what turbo does it have?

JDavenport Nov 6, 2010 06:57 PM

Congrats man! I am typing this from the NASA Turkey Trot at CMP. Been watching lots of TTA action today and the Z06's cleaned house. For now I'm just a DE learner, but maybe one day I can follow your lead and make some noise in TT with the Evo.

Keep up the good work!

Congrats, glad to see you do good. I showed up to my first track event, tired and confused - recognize a car off the forums and have the guy talk to me? Tis the **** movies are made of, all feel-good.

There's a ton of stuff I COULD do. I'm really just running coilovers and a few upgraded bushings. No bump-steer kit, no roll-center adjust, no added bracing, stock sways, etc. I'll keep my plans/setup a little quiet, but I do plan on getting a different set of coilovers and selling the ones I got.

Congrats Nate. Im looking forward to seeing where you transition to down the line.

Congratulations Nathan!

Congratulations! :beer:

It never ceases to amaze me how capable these cars are with stock engines, transmissions and turbos.
